the italian reports without atr atribution, they say the real reason that benedict resigned was because the three investigating cardinals uncovered far more salacious comments. church officials steered the conversation away from the sexual abuse scandal. today in los angeles, cardinal roger mahony testified under oath about allegations that he actively concealed the crimes of pedophile priests. one was accused of molesting 26 boys in 1987, he fled to mexico after mahony's top aide warned him that police would investigate. the idea that cardinal mahony should help choose the next pope is an outrage say the people who were sexually abused by priests in los angeles. >> it's absolutely mind-boggling to me how this continues to go on and mahony should be jailed. >> reporter: but the vatican says that voting in the conclave is a sacred duty, despite any worldly scandals. >> i don't think many of the cardinals in rome are very concerned about mahony voting because they consider him a member of the fraternity. >> reporter: mahoney tweeted his excitement about heading to the vatican. he blogged

benedict said his goodbyes by way of a gospel verse. luke 9:28. at this point in my life, the lord is calling me to climb the mountain, saying he'll still serve the church, but in a way better suited to his age and strength. this time next week, the campaign to choose benedict's successor will be well under way. but it's already clear it will be anything but politics as usual. >> this week, the vatican struggled to refute unattributed reports in the italian paper that a church sex and blackmail scandal is about to explode. today more voting cardinals were being pressured to bow out because they've been tainted by the sexual abuse scandal. among them, roger mahoney of los angeles and shaun brady of ireland, both of whom covered up for pedophile priests. today new allegations. four priests in scotland told a british newspaper he made unwanted sexual advances. the cardinal, known for his outspoken views on homosexuality denies the charges. >> when you have a transition, you get tons of rumors and whispers. most of them are not true. >> reporter: toda
